New legislation from @SenMarkey would close the #GRAS loophole that allows food manufacturers to determine what chemicals in food are safe, and increase #FDA oversight of toxic compounds like #PFAS and #BPA #ToxicFreeFoodFDA markey.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
The #FDA's current "Generally Recognized as Safe" - or #GRAS - system lets companies determine if a chemical is safe in food. It even lets companies market chemicals as food additives after FDA scientist rasie questions on safety. Here's one example: blogs.edf.org/health/2022/01…
